Psalms 51. "A Prayer for Forgiveness"

Be merciful to me, O God, because of your constant love. Because of your great mercy wipe away my sins! ²Wash away all my evil and make me clean from my sin!

³I recognize my faults; I am always conscious of my sins. ⁴I have sinned against you - only against you - and done what you consider evil. So you are right in judging me; you are justified in condemning me. ⁵I have been evil from the day I was born; from the time I was conceived, I have been sinful.

⁶Sincerity and truth are what you require; fill my mind with your wisdom. ⁷Remove my sin, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. ⁸Let me hear the sounds of joy and gladness; and though you have crushed me and broken me, I will be happy once again. ⁹Close your eyes to my sins and wipe out all my evil.

¹⁰Create a pure heart in me, O God, and put a new and loyal spirit in me. ¹¹Do not banish me from your presence; do not take your holy spirit away from me. ¹²Give me again the joy that comes from your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. ¹³Then I will teach sinners your commands, and they will turn back to you.

¹⁴Spare my life, O God, and save me, and I will gladly proclaim your righteousness. ¹⁵Help me to speak, Lord, and I will praise you.

¹⁶You do not want sacrifices, or I would offer them; you are not pleased with burnt-offerings. ¹⁷My Sacrifice is a humble spirit, O God; you will not reject a humble and repentant heart.

¹⁸O God, be kind to Zion and help her; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. ¹⁹Then you will be pleased with proper sacrifices and with our burnt-offerings; and bulls will be sacrificed on your altar.

AMEN.

Listening Ears of the Laity to the Priest on the Pulpit

Listening Ears of the Laity to the Priest on the Pulpit. Edited by Raphael Arinze Sometimes, I always ponder why those who are called Christians always behave like pegans; like unbelievers. What is happening? And what could be the cause? When Christians are supposed to be the light to the whole, salts of the earth....., As Jesus Christ put it for us. Despite all the provisions and equipment, made available in a spiritual realm to keep us going, no matter any circumstances and derived demand to traits our minds back forward. Our live as Christians don't align with the demands of a Christian call. Let us face it. Christians are made to always represent Christ all places in everywhere as the case maybe. Why do we often fail? when we always read the Bible and go to church as we practice. The Spirit of God is always in us, and for it to be active in our lives; God bestows His Spirit upon his Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ so that we can bost about the power of God in our lives. On

Always Remember God in Everything that you Do by Ugwueze Christian Ndubisi.

Always Remember God in everything that you do by Ugwueze Christian Ndubisi. "A DAILY ADVICE BY MR. CHRISTIAN NDUBISI TO THE FAMILY" In this life, we will face different challenges. Challenges that can even makes you to forget the existence of God, or even if you remember; you will have a doubting spirit. But know that God was never a man, and He cannot be a man. Suffering may present to you as if you are the worst sinner, but bear in your minds that clear conscience justify the cause of true liberty. Mostly, every human aspiration is to have enough, but when something like that is lacking, it might appear to you as if you are not all that prayerful as you ought to be. Or it may seems that God have rejected you. Even when you commit yourself in constant prayer and nothing is coming out positively - unjustified questions will be raising from your mind. But we should look at Job in the Bible. He was a righteous man, but you know the whole story; the abundant of wealth, the

Let the word of God dwell in you by Raphael Arinze

Let the word of God dwell in you. Edited by Raphael Arinze . I'm sharing this article to you to encourage you to keep faith in God as you journey in life. Life is not all that easy, in any way it's not ours; not our home. Many things have been occupied our minds in purpose of being worried how yesterday gives credits to us, how today is benefiting us, and how tomorrow will be to us. Is what we eat, wear, live in nor have extra to keep? Our lives, sometimes, give us some certain question when we all desire better than what it present. So many times, we go here and there due to our lack of materialism. But, I want to tell you that life itself is an unmerited gift from God. He alone knows what and how tomorrow will be. He is the author, alpha and Omega. He is to be followed in any course of our lives. Focusing on God is the only way to solve this critics question that lives present to us. It may seem inconveniences but it is connatural. It is part of us so that we can fully admi
